Chapter
– 59– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Devi Kausalya praises the virtues
and loveliness of Devi Sita
Devi
Kausalya continued in a pleasing tone “Devi Sita’s father King Janaka is the
jewel among the Kings, his father-in-law is the sun in the Raghukula, and you
are that supreme Bhramam symbolizes wisdom, charm, virtues, personified as the
delight of the Bhanukula, resemble the cool rays of moon to the lilies. Devi
Sita is our beloved daughter-in-law, she is amiable, enriched with wisdom and
virtues. She is the apple of my eyes, my life is vested in Janaki, I always
loved her as dear as my life, I have nurtured her in many ways like a
creeper/Kalpatharu, feeding with the water of affection, it was the appropriate
moment that the creeper was about to bear fruit and flowers, the Almighty has
changed his plans, turned against us and we do not what will be the
consequences of all. Devi Sita has never set her feet on the ground, she was
always been on my lap, on the cushioned bed, with rich well-decorated seats, and
swings. I have nurtured her like a life-giving creeper to us, and I have never
asked her to touch or turn the wick on the lamp, that Sita awaits to hear your
orders. Oh! Lord of Raghu's, how did a female Chakora bird that loved to feed on
nectar-like cool rays of the moon would gaze at the Sun?”
